28. Reading the various Posts, was fun, but why would Canada want us, that was a good question.

Also, there was stated the belief that we/or rather some of the States couldn't secede from the Nation. I don't believe that is a 100% true.

Donald Trump already treats the Blue states as if we are no longer part of the United States, only the states that supported him are entitled to status in the U.S. of A.
Nations split apart, it happens, the only question is whether or not it would be peaceful or do we need to spill blood along the way.
If enough of the population has had enough of this MAGA bullshit - then it will split. One could make the argument that we have already split in many ways. As one person said, the Republicans don't want us, the current President hates us, and MAGA thinks that we are all liberals deserving of re-education camps and more.
The current GOP/President/MAGA doesn't believe in science, education, tolerance, (add your own here) and are quite content to live in a backward isolated life without exposure or knowledge of the rest of the world. They believe that Donald Trump was sent by GOD and he is their chosen one, followed by criticism of him is forbidden. Their reality is one that is divorced from fact or truth. Plus, they are demanding that we worship their religion and pray to their GOD, and all others religions are "not real".

Come on, we have already split apart as a nation - with Donald doing everything that he can to incite the Blue states to violence so that he can unleash the dogs of war on us. What he is doing now is funding the secret police (ICE) so that he can do the Argentina things to us, like coming in the dead of night and disappearing us. The only question is - how much more can the nation stand.

Maybe, as long as it isn't happening to White people just Brown and Black - it is tolerable. Problem is, that eventually he will run out of Black and Brown and what is now an aberration soon becomes the norm. When it becomes the norm, then he will widen the net - coming for those that disagree with the nation-state (as defined by Trump) or expressed as a sentiment that is contrary to the MAGA norms. Then, neighbor will turn on neighbor, family will turn on family and there is nothing left, except fear.

No, the nation is splitting - it's just waiting for the insides to further spoil and ferment a little more - and like a melon, explode from the pressures.

my thoughts.
